In today’s world, power outages are becoming more common and can disrupt daily life in unexpected ways, particularly for those who rely on CPAP therapy for sleep apnea. A dependable backup power solution, like the EXP240PRO CPAP battery, ensures uninterrupted CPAP therapy during power outages. Here's a step-by-step guide to setting up and using the EXP240PRO battery as a home backup power supply.

Why Choose the EXP240PRO Battery for Home Backup?

The EXP240PRO CPAP Battery is a high-capacity solution designed to provide peace of mind and reliable power for up to 10-14 nights of CPAP use on a single charge (without humidifier or heated tubing). With its advanced LiFePO4 technology, it offers up to 5,000 life cycles and a 5-year warranty, making it a durable and eco-friendly investment.

Additionally, its silent operation, portability, and compatibility with various CPAP machines make it an excellent choice for both off-grid adventures and emergency home backup.

Setting Up the EXP240PRO as a CPAP Backup Power Supply

1. Identify the Correct Power Connection

   • The EXP240PRO is compatible with all major CPAP brands, including:

     • ResMed AirSense 10 & 11

     • ResMed AirMini

     • DreamStation 1 & 2

     • Respironics System One

     • Breas Z1/Z2

   • Use the appropriate DC cord or adapter for your CPAP machine. EXP PRO provides a wide range of cords to ensure seamless compatibility.

2. Set Up Pass-Through Charging

   • The EXP240PRO supports pass-through technology, meaning it can power your CPAP while charging. This feature is ideal for keeping the battery topped off during normal operation while ensuring it's always ready for an outage.

   • Connect the battery to a wall outlet while your CPAP is connected to the battery.

3. Connect Your CPAP Machine

   • Plug your CPAP machine directly into the EXP240PRO using the appropriate DC output port. The battery provides multiple voltage outputs to ensure compatibility.

   • Verify that the CPAP machine is powered on and operating normally.

4. Disable High-Drain Features (Optional)

   • For optimal battery life, turn off the CPAP’s humidifier and heated tubing. These features significantly increase power consumption.

   • The EXP240PRO can support these features, but usage time will be reduced to 2-3 nights per charge.

1. Periodic Charging

   • Even when not in use, recharge the battery every 3-6 months to maintain optimal performance.

2. Store Safely
